[Long-term efficiency of colposuspension of Burch compared with Pereyra's modified technique in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence]. / Eficiencia a largo plazo de la colposuspensión de Burch comparada con la operación de Pereyra modificada en el tratamiento de incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo.

Sixty-five women underwent either the modified Burch-Tanagho colposuspension or the modified Pereyra procedure for surgical correction of stress urinary incontinence. All were evaluated clinically before the surgery and then annually for 5 years. There was a subjective cure rate of 90% versus 86.6%, not statistically significant. Early postoperative normal bladder function and reduced urinary tract infection with the Burch procedure was statistically significant (P < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found for the intraoperative blood loss and the total hospital stay. The operative time for the Pereyra procedure was significantly short (P < 0.05). The present study has shown that both the Burch colposuspension and the modified Pereyra procedure are highly effective at long term for treating stress urinary incontinence.

[Method for transurethral catheterization for 1-3 days for pelvic floor relaxation in the postoperative period]. / Manejo del catéter transuretral por uno y por tres días en pacientes postoperadas por relajación del piso pélvico.

This clinic trial, randomized and blinded was done to determine efficient whether reducing transurethral Foley catheterization from 3 days to 1 would lead to fewer urinary (UTI) tract infections without retention becoming a problem. Fifty women undergoing vaginal plastic repair to either 1 or 3 days catheterization. Of 25 patients catheterized for both group postoperative urinary retention occurred in 2 (8%) and required a new catheter. Of 25 patients catheterized for 1 day UTI was diagnosed in 1 (4%) and in 5(20) of those catheterized for 3 days, mean postoperative stay was 2 day for patients catheterized for 1 day and 3 days for those for 3 days. The differences are statistically significant, therefore catheter time may safely be reduced to 1 day. This may be associated with a reduced rate postoperative urinary retention, urinary tract infection, and stay postoperative.

[Prevalence of fibrocystic disease of breast in patients with endometriosis]. / Prevalencia de mastopatía fibroquística en pacientes con endometriosis.

The prevalence of fibrocystic breast disease in patients with endometriosis, was determined. This was a prospective cross-sectional study. The 43 women were diagnosed as having endometriosis by laparoscopy. In these patients, during their control period, a deliberate search for clinical and ultrasonography data on fibrocystic breast disease was carried out. The average age was 28 years, ranging between 18 and 36 years. From 43 the patients with endometriosis, 37% of them were diagnosed with fibrocystic breast disease. The group of age more frequent was between 30 and 34 years in 37.5%, and 31% between 20 and 24 years of age. 43% of the patients with both diseases had antecedent of pregnancy and 25% had menstrual alterations. The prevalence of fibrocystic breast disease in patients with endometriosis was 37%, thus observing a strong evidence of association between both pathologies.
